The Breitbart News reported Thursday 8 that West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey threatened to sue the Biden administration after Biden (R) announced a series of gun control orders Thursday.
In a statement, Morrisey said, “Defending the Second Amendment remains one of the most important priorities of the West Virginia Attorney General’s Office. I will not allow the far left to run roughshod over the gun rights of our citizens. If Biden follows through with his proposal, we will be in court soon. “
Morrisey emphasized that “gun violence and the senseless deaths attributed to gun violence should be painful for all Americans, however, the evil actions of a few should never be the catalyst for denying the legal masses their constitutional rights, especially their right to self-defense and to bear arms.”
Morrisey is not the only Republican attorney general to voice opposition to Biden’s gun control measures. After Biden renewed his call for Congress to pass legislation aimed at banning “assault weapons” following the fatal shooting at a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store last month, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton pledged to protect Texans’ Second Amendment rights.
Paxton tweeted at the time, “After Ariza murdered 10 people in Boulder, Colorado, Biden immediately called for a ban on ‘assault weapons,’ and Democrats enthusiastically endorsed it. Let me be clear: I will not allow the left to violate Texans’ Second Amendment rights as long as I am attorney general.”
